How to Limit Start Button Shell Options
Keywords: policy editor poledit start button
Question:
We'd like to limit the choices a user sees when they execute a Start => Shut Down choice. We want the PC to ONLY Restart. Shut Down is not an acceptable choice. Has anyone created or seen a method in WinBatch to affect these choices?Answer:
With WinBatch you use the IntControl(67...) function. See 66 67 and 68, for actually shutting down the computer.The policy editor in the 95 resource kit can do this stuff.
For the Default User Properties, here's a sampling of items in the Shell you can restrict using the Policy Editor:
Under "Custom Folders":
- Custom Program Folders
- Custom Desktop Icons
- Custom Start Menu Subfolders
- Custom Startup Folder
- Custom Network Neigbhorhood
- Custom Start Menu
- Remove 'Run' command
- Remove folders from 'Settings' on Start Menu
- Remove taskbar from 'Settings' on Start Menu
- Remove 'Find' command
- Hide Drives in 'My Computer'
- No 'Entire Network' in Network Neighborhood
- No Workgroups contents in Network Neighborhood
- Hide all Items on Desktop
- Disable Shut Down command
- Don't Save Settings on Exit
